Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the Internet use behavior of the Faculty members and

Postgraduate students at Babcock University, Ogun State, Nigeria. Survey research design

was adopted for the study. Population comprises 631 faculty members and post graduate

students at Babcock University. Purposive sampling technique was used in selecting 180

faculty members and postgraduate students as respondents in the study. Questionnaire was

the instrument used for data collection. Out of 180 questionnaire distributed to the

respondents, 126 (70%) was duly completed and returned which was analyzed using

descriptive statistics. The study established among others that both the faculty and

postgraduate student make use of the Internet, however, their reasons and periods they use the

internet differ. It was also revealed that the faculty spends more time in the use of the Internet

than the postgraduate students. Further, it was discovered that the postgraduate students used

the Internet resources more than the faculty. Next, it was shown that the faculty uses the

Internet for their up-to-date knowledge and teaching while the postgraduate mostly use the

Internet for article writing and for sending and receiving e-mail. In relation to their satisfaction

level, it was revealed that the postgraduate students are more satisfied with the Internet use

than the faculty. Further, it was also discovered that the faculty makes use of their laptops and

the University’s Internet facilities while the postgraduate students use only their personal

laptops. Finally, the major difficulty experienced by the faculty was fluctuation in connectivity

while the postgraduate stated low bandwidth (slow speed). It was recommended that the BU

Administration look into and rectify those difficulties that could hinder or discourage the

effective use of the Internet.
